  • Unique, attractive looks, Great value for money, Good thermal performance, 4 cooling fans pre-installed, Fan control and LED switch
  • Flexing on HDD trays
  • Corsair’s new Carbide series has gathered plenty of momentum in the short time it has been around. Gone are the days when a great quality mid-tower with all the features you could want would cost you over £100.I’ve been impressed by the 500R and actua...

  • Capacité en refroidissement, Assez silencieux en 5V, Cages amovibles, Montage simple
  • Pas de petits plus, Bruyant en 12V, 2 ports USB seulement, Le firewire inutile
  • Du bon travail. Voilà ce que Corsair a réalisé sur son 500R. Certes, le boîtier ne fait pas franchement dans le détail, on ne trouve ni isolant phonique comme sur le NZXT H2, ni de branchement à chaud, et le design pourra ne pas convenir à tous, les débor...

  • Design en Blanc, Finition, Chassis, Fonctionnalités, Espace interne, Ventilation
  • Filtration incomplète, Adaptateur 3.5 pouces externe absent
  • Tout comme le 400R, nous pouvons le dire, le 500R est un excellent boitier. En effet comme il reprend, dans les grandes lignes les bases du 400R, il ne pouvait pas vraiment en être autrement, d'autant plus qu’avec quelques petits aménagements et access...
